Book Synopsis Siberia To-Day (Classic Reprint) by : Frederick F. Moore

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Siberia to-Day The attitude of mind with which a writer approaches his subject is the core of his book. My purpose in recording my observations and impressions while serving in Siberia is to tell such citizens of the United States as may be interested some of the things they may want to know about the Siberians. This is not a "war book," nor an account of thrilling deeds, nor a history of our expedition in Siberia, but a book in which I have attempted to bring to the public a realization of the difficulties under which our officers and men performed, and perform, their duties in that land. These difficulties are partly inherent in the Siberians themselves, partly the result of the chaos following the Russian revolution and Bolshevism, and partly the result of a lack of policy for Siberia on our part. The people of the United States undoubtedly feel sympathy for all Russia, and desire to aid it in some way; President Wilson, we all know, burdened with the world war's problems, seeks a solution of the Russian situation which will give the people of Russia the fullest possible means of attaining national liberty.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through Siberia Notwithstanding the fact that the world is now passing through a phase of eager geographical exploration and dis covery to which no period - not even the Elizabethan affords a parallel, there are still countries whither the traveller, be he naturalist, geographer, or sportsman, but rarely directs his steps. Siberia is one of them. The map of Africa is becoming almost as crowded with place-names as that of France, and we are steadily filling in the Arctic and even the Antarctic coast-lines, but the Land of the Tundra remains almost as unknown to Englishmen as it was in the days of Cochrane, when, eighty years ago, he set him self the astounding task of walking, baggageless and alone, from Dieppe to Kamschatka. The Treaty of Nertchinsk is a couple of centuries old, and the Russian conquerors had reached the furthest limits of the vast land even earlier, but no one now thinks of following in their footsteps.

Book Synopsis Siberia (Classic Reprint) by : Morgan Philips Price
Download or read book Siberia (Classic Reprint) written by Morgan Philips Price and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Siberia The journey through Western and Central Siberia and the adjacent parts of Mongolia, of which some account is given in the following pages, was undertaken in response to the invitation of my friends, Messrs Douglas Carruthers and J. H. Miller, who were engaged in the scientific exploration of those regions. They were mainly interested in the physical characteristics of the Siberian-Mongolian borderland, and the geographical results of their investigations were communicated to the Royal Geographical Society by Mr Carruthers in March 1912. My own interests, on the other hand, had long been mainly associated with social and economic questions, and my special studies had been not a little stimulated by a visit to Canada some years before. The prospect was therefore particularly pleasing, and the opportunity offered of joining such an expedition to a little-known and rapidly changing country was not to be missed. I was not disappointed in my expectations. For the greater part of a year I was living in the midst of a new society passing through a fascinating phase of development. Siberia is now where Canada was a generation ago. Just as the English settler in Canada has become a Canadian, so the Russian settler in Siberia has become a Siberian.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of a Siberian Exile Here is an expression in use in Poland which surpasses all that human eloquence has ever em ployed to give intensity to despair; it consists of the words 'we never meet again? And thus it is that any political exile, when about to depart for Siberia, takes leave of his family and of his friends; we nete'r meet again! For the only way in which an exile could find himself once more among those whom he loves would be for him to meet them in the same place of torment. The conviction is deep that they who are once transported to those regions of pain can quit them no more; that Siberia never relinquishes her prey. For nearly a century she has torn from Poland her most devoted women, her most generous sons. Back to those realms of snow and of blood fly the thoughts of every Pole who inquires into the past fortunes of his B.

While everything that leads to a better knowledge and understanding of our Russian Allies and their country cannot fail to interest us, it is in particular the practical consideration referred to - namely, the possibility of increasing our food-supply by a new route - that has led the publisher to issue this book at the present juncture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Siberia and Central Asia This book is the result of a trip through Si beria and Central Asia, made by the author dur ing the summer and autumn of last year. It con sists mostly of letters written by him while on the journey, which were published by several Western newspapers. Owing to the great and increasing importance of the Eastern Question, the author has thought that it might be of interest to his friends to have these letters put into a more permanent form, illustrated by many views taken by him at that time. These views in themselves may, perhaps, be his best excuse for the book, as they give a better and clearer idea of these great regions than any words of his can convey.

This book was released on 2018-03-04 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Last Stand of the Old Siberia His brief narrative of The Last Stand Tof the Old Siberia is based on observa tions made during a geological and geograph ical reconnaissance by the author through Siberia in 1901, just after the Boxer war in China and adjoining parts of Siberia. The reason that the narrative was not published many years ago is that the region was still the old-time Siberia, for the Great Siberian Rail way was only partly completed and had not yet materially changed the people or their conditions. This old-time Siberia had been much described, much discussed, and more often than not, much and unjustly abused; enough had been said about it for that time.

Book Synopsis The Real Siberia by : John Foster Fraser
Download or read book The Real Siberia written by John Foster Fraser and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Real Siberia: Together With an Account of a Dash Through Manchuria This volume lays claim to give nothing more than personal impressions of a journey made across Siberia and through Manchuria in the autumn of 1901. I went to Siberia on a mission of curiosity, with the average Britisher's prejudice against things Russian, and with my eyes wide open to see things I might criticise and oven condemn. If, however, I found little to bless in the great land beyond the Urals, I also found very little to curse. Through generations there has grown up in the public mind the idea that Siberia is a land of snow and exiles. There is much that is thrilling in stories of innocent prisoners, weary and starving, being driven through blinding storms with tho whips of brute officials to urge them on. Yet the public, I am afraid, rather like that sort of thing, and a succession of writers have ministered to their appetite for sensation. So only one phase of Siberian life - a slight and a passing phase - has been depicted. Nurtured largely on such books, I went to Siberia half expecting to feed on horrors, and with the intention of writing one more volume to show how cruel the Russian is. Of course I saw much to condemn. But I saw something else. I saw that the popular idea about Siberia is altogether wrong.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Russian Life to-Day Y first inclination, when the entirely unex pected proposal of the Publishers came to me to write this book, was immediately to decline. There are so many well-known writers on Russia, whose books are an unfailing pleasure and source of information, that it seemed to me to be nothing less than presumption to add to their number. But when I was assured that there seems to be a great desire just now for a book which, as the Publishers expressed it, should not attempt an elaborate sketch of the country, nor any detailed description of its system of government and administration, or any exhaustive study of the Russian Church, and yet should give the impressions of a sympathetic observer of some of the chief aspects of Russian Life which are likely to appeal to an English Churchman, I felt that I might venture to attempt it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Siberia and the Exile System, Vol. 2 I was so nearly paralyzed with astonishment at this wholly unexpected greeting that for a moment I could hardly re ply; but I managed to thank him and ask him to take a seat. We had a pleasant chat of ten minutes with regard to the roads, the weather, our Siberian experiences, the changed appearance of Irkutsk, etc., and then Captain makofski said: I understand that you are interested, among other things, in prisons and the exile system. I think you will find the city prison here in good condition. I will send some one to show you through it, and I will not forewarn the prison officers that you are coming - you Shall see it just as it is every day.

The next best thing to seeing these things for one's self is to hear of them from the lips of such a delightful raconteur as Mr. Vanderlip. Whatever defects may be found in these pages must be laid at the door of the scribe; but whatever is entertaining and instructive is due to the keen observation, the retentive memory, and the descriptive powers of the main actor in.
